Well done,

Indeed, only this morning I was reading some old flypasts and there was an article about the recovery of two substantial Beaufighters. There could be more wrecks in the Northern Territory could they?

Ah well….I thought I had to tip you off, though! Didn’t know if it may have been a treasure for you!

Thanks that you did. I would have kicked myself if it was something I had been after for years:p

Halifax W1048 from Lake Hoklingen, if only there was some footage available. That would be fantastic. The recovery of Wellington N2980 R for Robert from Loch Ness. Two years ago when on holiday there, all aboard a boat where scanning the lake to see the monster. In the meanwhile I was talking to the captain in the cabin as he had been a diver during the recovery of the wreck. He was very amused about my interest in the “other monster” 🙂
Recoveries from underwater are magical and may more discoveries be made.

No apologies for bringing up these topics matey;)

Hi there,

Not that I know of. I contacted Yorkshire Air Museum but they didn’t even responded. I also contacted Karl Kjasgaard who was interested but no further new sofar. I think we need a local group or museum to save this before it is too far gone (provided the owner wants to let it go of course). This items belongs in a museum restored and well. Would be a waste to let it rot away.

Ok, it’s an interesting opportunity but on the other hand who is interested enough to spend a lot of money on a B29 while there are a reasonably large number of these about. Cost, space, equipment etc. will be a tough nut to crack. These sites will probably only be interesting if a very rare or extinct aircraft is down there such as the German Heinkel 177. A Lancaster (or it should be a very historic one, such as a 617 Sq aircraft) even won’t tickle most people even. An intact Stirling, now that would the holy grail for the UK movement (and the majority outside it as well)

Single or twin-engined will be much more easier and more interesting for would be recoverers.

But, there are still people who have dreams and aim to fulfull them.
